movies from another galaxy

enough said

You should look straight at a film; that's the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates : Werner Herzog

The director is simply the audience. So the terrible burden of the director is to take the place of that yawning vacuum, to be the audience and to select from what happens during the day which movement shall be a disaster and which a gala night. His job is to preside over accidents : Orson Welles

People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television -- you don't feel anything : Andy Warhol

One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that : Oliver Stone

If you can't believe a little in what you see on the screen, it's not worth wasting your time on cinema : Serge Daney

For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake : Alfred Hitchcock

Films can only be made by by-passing the will of those who appear in them, using not what they do, but what they are : Robert Bresson

Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls : Ingmar Bergman

All film directors, whether famous or obscure, regard themselves as misunderstood or underrated. Because of that, they all lie. They're obliged to overstate their own importance : FrantOis Truffaut

Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

Another really enjoyable animation from Disney based on the classic video game Fix-It Felix. Ralph is the bad guy who destroys the building as Felix repairs it. Ralph wants to change position and be the good guy now because he feels isolated from the other characters of the game. He has to find and gain a medal from another arcade game in order to win their sympathy but as he is used to wreck everything on his way, he enters into a war game and unleashes by mistake a deadly menace to all the other games. Now with the help of Vanellope, a cute glitch character from a cheesy candy racing game, the will try to win the trophy so Ralph will get back his medal and together they will destroy the aliens who threaten their artificial world. Cool story, maybe sometime more childish that it should be, but also entertaining and funny.
